Anyone make a four link kit for my 66?

I'm going to pull the bed off and replace the rear end this spring so I thought I might as well put a four link in while I have it that stripped down. I can't find anyone who sells a kit and was hoping someone on here knows of a kit source. If not I know a guy that can fab oneup or maybe have Captfab do it.

Re: Anyone make a four link kit for my 66?

I don't know of any 4 bar/4 link suspensions that are specific to the '60-'72 trucks. I have a '67 in my shop with a Morrison triangulated 4 bar, if you want to have a look. They're not cheap to do them right. A lot can be done with the trailing arms also.

Our rear 4-bar for your truck is not a bolt on.We only have them as a weld on kit.If you would like some pics of our kits.You can send me a e-mail and I will send you some pics to you.

just a note, that bolt in kit is a trailing arm upgrade not a 4 link. Maybe thats what you meant, and if so no worries.

I have an ART s10 4 link airbar system on my 65 c10 truck but it has been heavily modified, both the truck and the links.

Porterbuilt & NoLimit both offer a 4 bar rear set up and both are members on here unless you want a true 4 link as in a race set up.

I hadn't seen the Porterbuilt rear 4 bar before. That is about as bolt on as it gets. Very nice stuff as usual from Nate
